Hi,
I'm flying from MEX to AMS via IAH both on UA. I have 2 hours and 10 minutes between flights.
I'm a European Union Citizen and have my ESTA / Visa Waiver in place. I would like to know if I need to recover my luggage or will the luggage be booked through all the way to AMS?
Thanks in advance!

I am travelling from Veracruz to London via IAH. Both flights are international with arrival to terminal E and departure from terminal D. I know that I have to go through immigration control but I have valid only B-1 visa (business visa).Is this type of visa good enough to make transit in IAH airport or I have to have C1-D visa(transit visa)?

my flight arrives from Mexico at 4:45 pm and teminal E and my 2nd flight its at 7 pm, will I have enough time ? how much time do I have to wait on the line for immingration? is it far terminal E from C , how many minutes? Can I go to terminal D in order to visit a lounge and before my fllight in term C?
Thanks

That should be enough time. Terminals C, D, and E are all connected inside security once you go through security again afer going through Immigration and Customs. However, you probably won't have enough time to make it worth going to the lounge.

That is 20 minutes shorter than the recommended minimum connection time. it will be very difficult. You may want to contact United or your travel agent to request a later flight to Philadelphia or earlier flight from Leon.

I have a flight with Lufthansa from heathrow to Houston on 2 July arriving at 13.55 with a connecting flight to Bogota at 15.30. Is this enough time? Will I need to collect my bag? What terminals will I need to get from/to?

Note that your flight to Houston will be operated by United. In Houston you will go through US Immigration and Customs and go through security. You should not have to claim your bag because you are on an international to international connection. You should have enough time.

Tomorrow afternoon I will be traveling from IAH to Cincinnati, through Atlanta. My flight leaves IAH at 5pm. My fear is delays during the day will cause me to miss my connecting flight in Atlanta for Cincinnati. Given the expected weather tomorrow, what time would you recommend leaving IAH? Are delays expected in the morning? Afternoon?

Leaving earlier won't help you any, unless Delta issues a waiver allowing you to change your flight to an earlier one, in which case, do that. Storms are obviously less likely and less severe in the morning.

I am flying from MTY Mexico to YYC Calgary with a 3 hour layover at IAH. Can I meet someone outside of the airport? Do I have to go through customs or can I do a transit? I have a US Visa. Will I have enough time?

Once you arrive you will go through US Immigration and Customs and then be outside the secure area. You can then meet with someone if you want to. You will have to go through security before your flight to Calgary.

I will be flying into Houston from Grand Cayman and Connecting to Vancouver(YVR). Will need to go through US customs/immigration, claim my luggage, and recheck it. I will be connecting from terminal E to C. I will have 3 very large bags with me, is there a porter service to assist me in carrying my luggage between terminals?

If you purchased your tickets together you will not have to claim your baggage since you are on an International to International connection. You will just have to go through Immigration and Security. Even if you did have to claim your bags, you would not have to transport them between terminals.

If you don't want to take a taxi, the 102 bus goes from near the Grehound Terminal to the Airport. However, it takes roughly 90 minutes and only runs every 40 minutes, so you'd need to leave quite a bit of time for your transfer. A Taxi would take 30-45 minutes, depending on time of day.

This page mentions 2 rooms at IAH to nurse or pump milk. http://www.ifly.com/george-bush-intercontinental-airport/terminal-services-and-help I will be flying United so will be in Terminal B. Is there a room in Terminal B like this? If I need to go to Terminal A, how long will it take to get there? Also, I looked in the map for gate 84 like the webpage referenced but it seems out of date-anyone know where this location is?
